    Pull the rear grill panel and body panel that's behind the rear window.

    Remove the upper intake plenum..(the part that days "testarossa" be mindful of the spacers in the gaskets..they can fall out. Obviously disconnect the battery..

    Remove cooling duct (orange tube) undo battery cable and regulator connector. Losen lower alternator bolt (17mm) and tensioner nut. Undo tensioner bolt enough to get the alternator low enough to remove the belt. Remove tensioner components completely. Losen sloted bracket bolt (17mm) and push bracket to the right.

    Remove long lower alternator bolt. It may not come all the way out..but it will move enough to get the alternator out. You may need some help of a pry bar to get it released from the lower mounting.
